I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 72 Aphrodite's Blessing
Hearing the words of the goddess Mnemosyne, Roy immediately sensed it, and found that there was indeed a divine power beyond his control in his body.

As Roy's consciousness came into contact with this uncontrollable divine power, a message surged in Roy's mind.

Lowe.

Age: 20 years old
Possess the protection of gods: Blessing of Metis [Increase Wisdom], Blessing of Aphrodite [Increase Charm]

Strength Level: Hero [Hundred Enemies]

"Aphrodite's blessing...charm boost?"

Roy murmured with a blank expression.

"Is this why Harmonia suddenly fell in love with me?"

Hearing Roy's soliloquy, Harmonia asked Mnemosyne.

"Goddess Mnemosyne, what is going on?"

"Cadmus, who fought with you yesterday, is the favorite of another goddess, Aphrodite."

Mnemoshine looked at Roy and said.

"Although Aphrodite's essence is the goddess of war with sky attributes, she obtained the divinity in charge of love from other goddesses. Roy's intervention not only allows you to turn defeat into victory and kill Cadmus, but also makes Aphrodite You completely lost to me. In order to take revenge on Roy, Aphrodite bestowed the blessing of the goddess of love on Roy, making it easier for a girl like you who has a crush on Roy to fall in love with him."

"I have a crush on Priest Loy?"

"Yesterday he saved you at your most dangerous time and changed the fate of the Thebes tribe being conquered by invaders. Isn't it normal for you to have a good impression of him?"

Harmonia nodded shyly.

"I suddenly fell in love with Priest Loi. It seems that it was really because I was grateful for his kindness for saving me and the Thebes tribe, and I had a good impression of him."

Then, Harmonia turned to look at Roy and said.

"Priest Loi! Although I have returned to normal now, I am still willing to keep my promise. Are you willing to propose to me under the witness of Mnemosyne?"

Before Harmonia returned to normal, she wanted to marry Roy on her own initiative.

Now that Harmonia has returned to normal, her attitude has changed to want Roy to propose to her.

Roy came back to his senses, shook his head at Harmonia and said.

"Priest of Harmonia, since you fell in love with me because of Aphrodite's blessing and proposed a marriage agreement to me, now that you are back to normal, our marriage agreement will naturally be voided."

"You don't want to marry me?"

Unexpectedly, Roy would voluntarily give up the chance to marry him, Harmonia said in surprise.

"Honestly speaking... I am still very confident in my beauty and figure, and I am also the priest and leader of the Thebes tribe. As long as you marry me, you can become the leader of the strongest tribe in Thebes area. Luo Priest Yi! Did you give up the chance to marry me because you already have a girl you like?"

Roy shook his head.

For he loves not a human girl, but a goddess of the same identity as Mnemosyne,

Mnemoshine stood up from the altar and said.

"Since your matter has been resolved, I should go back."

After speaking, Mnemoshine turned and walked towards the peak of Mount Helikon.

Seeing Mnemosyne climbing the mountain road, Harmonia was still looking at the direction in which Mnemosyne left, Roy knew that Harmonia could no longer see Mnemosyne's figure .

"I'm really different from other people! Harmonia is the priest of Mnemosyne, and even after Mnemosyne is far away from her, she can't see the figure of Mnemosyne, And I can see the figure of the goddess Mnemosyne until she is out of my sight."

When the figure of the goddess Mnemosyne disappeared on the snow-capped peak of Mount Helikon, seeing that Harmonia was still watching the direction in which Mnemosyne left, Roy took the initiative to remind her.

"The priest of Harmonia, the goddess Mnemosyne, has returned to the summit of Mount Helicon."

Harmonia looked at Roy with wide eyes in shock and said.

"Priest Luoy, can you see the figure of the god? Could it be that other priests can see the figure of the god, but because I have only been a priest for a year, I can't see the figure of the god?"

"I... I guessed based on my feeling!"

Roy explained in a panic.

"I can no longer feel the divine power fluctuations of the goddess Mnemosyne, so I guess the goddess Mnemosyne has returned to the peak of Mount Helikon."

"Can we human priests perceive the divine power fluctuations of the gods?"

Just when Roy's lie was about to be exposed, Harmonia took the initiative to change the subject and said.

"Priest Loi, now we are returning to the Thebes tribe, let me entertain you again!"

"it is good!"

Roy hurriedly agreed, and followed Harmonia back to the Thebes tribe.

Thebes tribe.

Palace of Harmonia.

In the spacious and bright hall of the stone house.

Roy and Harmonia sat opposite each other at a stone table, and the maids quickly brought sumptuous food and wine to the stone table.

Harmonia blushed shyly while pouring wine for Roy.

"Priest Luoy, in fact, when I was with you yesterday, all I could think about was how to marry you. Now I will solemnly treat you as a benefactor who saved me and our Thebes tribe."

Roy and Harmonia looked at each other, seeing that Harmonia's eyes were full of gratitude to him, Roy couldn't help but said.

"Priest of Harmonia, are you Thebes tribe willing to become a watchful ally with our Athens tribe? I can teach you various advanced technologies to the Thebes tribe and help the Thebes tribe enter the city-state civilization. In order to prove my ability, I can now teach you to make the lighting tools at night-candles."

Seeing Roy's eager expression, Harmonia said with a smile.

"I am very interested in the candle you mentioned. How to make a candle?"

"I'm talking about candles made of tallow—"

Roy told Harmonia the specific method of making candles, and Harmonia ordered her maid to make candles according to Roy's method.

After the maids went to make candles, Harmonia asked curiously.

"Priest Luoy, there is nothing free in this world. What do you want from our Thebes tribe?"

"I want grain, copper and iron."

The Attica peninsula, where the Athenian tribes were located, was barren and did not produce enough food to feed the population.

Although there are many mountains in the Attica Peninsula, except for a silver mine, the Attica Peninsula has neither copper nor iron mines.

Unlike the Attica Peninsula, which has barren land and no copper ore ore, the Thebes region has fertile plains irrigated by lakes and rivers. Mount Helicon is a fertile mountain range suitable for grazing cattle and sheep, and there are iron mines in the north of Thebes region , the east of the Thebes region-the island of Yubia, where the Thebes immigrants lived, has both copper and iron mines.

"Priest of Harmonia! The Thebes region has fertile plains and metal mines that can be used to smelt weapons. I hope that your Thebes tribe can sell the surplus food to the Athens tribe, and work together with the Athens tribe Mining metal mines."
